Crowler bought from Beer Drop.

Pours clear copper colour with a finger of foam that shrinks slowly.

Smell is of caramel malt, brown sugar, Bourbon, some fruitiness. And ample alcohol.

I expected it to taste sweeter. There is the caramel and brown sugar but it is offset by a nondescript hop bitterness. The Bourbon adds some flavour and heat. More sips in and I find that the finish is off putting. It is like a clash between some fruity notes and the hop bitterness that I mentioned in the smell.

I'm now picking up a vinous character. There's no dating on the Crowler and I am now wondering if it was filled from an aged batch? No signs of the "good" oxidation.

Full bodied imo, this is very disappointing.
